I have been a patient with Evan for many months and I have to say I LOVE this place with my whole heart. Working with someone who genuinely cares and listens to you as a patient is exactly what you can expect. Evan and his staff do an excellent job with making you feel comfortable while also assisting and guiding you to your fullest potential. Highly recommend, could not appreciate this place more. Thank you so much Evan for a truly amazing experience!

I visited Fortius for patellar tendonitis in my knee and had a wonderful experience. Evan and his staff were extremely friendly, flexible with appointment times, and designed a regiment that strengthened my knee and allows me to bike and hike without issues.
Highly recommend
July 20, 2022Eli S.Verified patient
Very knowledgeable and experienced physical therapist who was quite thorough in his evaluation of my difficulties and articulate and understandable in explaining what was needed. Spent a lot of time with me, starting working with me in the first session, gave me home exercises and answered all my questions. Office is pleasant and easy to get to from several train lines (near Columbus Circle).
June 6, 2022Sharon S.Verified patient
This was my first appointment, and I was pleased with his approach and his recommended exercises. The only thing that holds me back from awarding 5 stars is what the results may be over time. Right now is too early to tell!

Great experience! I visited Fortius to treat the herniated disks in my neck a while ago. I've made a huge progress since my first visit, many thanks to Evan! He has been very attentive and always clarified any questions for me. It's been a pleasure working with him and the rest of Fortuis' team. They are professional and very welcoming - the great environment to work in! Highly recommended!

Very professional team who really likes to dig at what the issue really is to get rid of pain or discomfort at the root. Great stuff.
January 16, 2022Mateo E.Verified patient
Evan is very attentive to his patients. I have had chronic back issues and first came to the office with a herniated disc in 2019. He gave me exercises and manually worked on my back, each session lasting around 1.5hr. After several months of therapy, I was able to continue my yoga practice with a tool belt of exercises to protect my back and much of the pain subsiding. Fast forward to end of 2021, when I had some pain return. Evan was able to pick up right away and remember the details of my case even after a fair amount of time had passed. Evan has a bright and energetic attitude and is a pleasure to be around. I will definitely count myself as a returning patient.

While I'm not a fan of the injuries that put me in physical therapy, I love working with Evan and the team at Fortius.
I've gone a couple times over the past 5 years, once for a knee injury training for a 5k roughly 4 years ago and twice for neck/shoulder and back pain. Each time Evan has designed a solid training regimen with a defined end-goal in mind, has been transparent when discussing the mechanics and medicine involved (making it understandable even with my limited knowledge of body mechanics), and has given me an arsenal of exercises to do at home to maintain the strength I've developed and make sure I'm not coming back soon for the same issue. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and you can tell that he loves what he does.
The office environment is great too, and always feels like I'm stepping in to a tight friend group that is happy to bring you into the fold and have a good time while you're on the mend.
I would highly, highly recommend Fortius to anyone out there!

I cannot speak more highly about Fortius Physical Therapy. I started going to Foritus for an Achilles injury that I needed to attend to as I was training for the NYC Marathon. As soon as I walked into Fortius, I knew it was different than most Physical Therapy places in the city. Evan and the entire staff at Fortius make you feel welcomed and cared for, which can be hard to come by in NYC! I would not have gotten through my marathon training without Fortius, and I could not be more thankful to them for giving me the opportunity to cross the NYC Marathon finish line!

I've been coming to Fortius for over two years for two different injuries. Evan and the team are courteous, energetic, attentive, and —above all— near miracle workers. They've helped turn around my recovery and given me exercises/stretches that I will take with me for the long haul. I always look forward coming to Fortius. Evan is truly AWESOME and so patient, knowledgable, and engaging as a PT - it feels like I'm among friends whenever I go to my appointments. Definitely recommend if you need a PT in the NYC area. (PS - Super close to the B/D and N/R/Q/W in Midtown)

I visited Fortius going to weekly appointments the course of a few months. During my time there, I found the staff at Fortius to be unbelievable – they were friendly (even super early in the morning), helpful, punctual, knowledgeable and always able to answer any questions I had. The team designed different exercises specifically to address my pain and each appointment was a pleasure to attend. Evan and his team were able to help me get better and I would highly recommend Fortius to anyone who needed physical therapy.

Evan & staff are efficient, caring, compassionate & he is an expert in the art of Physical therapy. Evan is great at explaining the exercises & teaching how to do them at home, along with instructions & pictures. Everyone is the best at what they do & are very professional!

Great experience! Personable, knowledgeable and super super clean. I was looking for something that made me feel that my treatment was a priority. It didn't feel like I was in a place where I was on a timer and whether I finished my session or not I had leave because the next patient came in. Evan is very flexible with his hours of operation. Changing appointment times was easy. It's overwhelming enough that your body needs to go through PT and for 5 months I felt at home, comfortable and listened to.

Great office. My first time doing PT; I was quickly evaluated and given a solid rehab program. Looking forward to my future sessions.
More than 1 year agoArtjom P.Verified patient
Best physical therapy practice in all of NYC! I have been to many different physical therapy places and nothing compares to Fortius! Evan and his team care about your recovery and getting you back to doing what you love. Their attention to detail, encouragement and their professionalism sticks out over any practice I have ever been too. I highly recommend going here if you need physical therapy - I know I will be back in the future. Thanks Fortius for allowing me to go skiing again!

I've gone to a lot of PTs for my sciatic pain. It wasn't until I started working with Evan that I really started to make progress. It's not easy to make physical therapy enjoyable, but it's always a great atmosphere here. The positivity at the office really helps when you're doing the exercises, not to mention Evan really explains body mechanics really well, so you know what goals you're looking to achieve and what you can do to get there. If you need physical therapy, this is the place you want to be to get it done.

Evan is great, he listened and understood my goals. I’ve never been to a PT who actually showed me how to rehab my knee, and strengthen my body mechanics. Each session was like getting a workout in (in the best way). And it WORKED! I was able to run again not just for fun, but completed a half marathon without my knee pain! I’ve referred him to two more of my friends and he greatly helped them both. Cannot recommend enough!

Evan helped me with a pain I was experiencing with my hip. He was able to determine my issue and design a plan that recovered my hip completely. Since my pain was bothering me during the beginning of the pandemic our appointments were virtual. He was able to determine my issue and recover my pain ALL virtually.
Later on, I experienced a small injury in my back. I was able to get this treated in person and I had an even more positive experience. After each visit my back started feeling much better.
I highly recommend Fortius Physical Therapy.

Evan and his team are committed to getting to the root of their patients’ injuries and/or long-standing conditions. Evan’s assessment of my gait and calf tightness was really helpful and my sessions with him over 2.5 months have enhanced my overall mobility and flexibility.

I discovered Fortius in 2016 - a friend gave them raving reviews. So I went and Fortius did not disappoint - they were extremely professional and knowledgeable and went beyond dispensing exercises. They really helped me understand the reasons why I got injured and taught me movement and exercises that have helped relieve pain and prevent the same injury from occurring. Fast forward to 2020, I had a different injury and did not shop around at all - I went back to Fortius based on my previous experience. I found that they had adapted to COVID and helped me to feel safe going there 3x a week for a few months - they again took time to understand the nature of my injury, took time to understand and properly diagnose and set me on the path to a proper recovery.

I have been seeing Evan on and off for multiple issues on my feet, calves, neck, arms, you name it, he's seen it all. Evan is methodical in his analysis of a patient's issue and strives to find the best approach to help them get better. He takes time to listen and re-evaluate the best exercise framework for individuals. He creates a wonderful environment for patients to get better and makes PT visits a treat even when you know you'll be tired or in pain afterward. I would highly recommend Evan! He's my go-to!

I first went to Fortius about a broken ankle, and ended up going there about twice a week for five months. Evan was terrific, as was everyone working with him in the office. What could have been an extremely frustrating and painful process went as smooth as I could imagine it. They were clear about what was happening with my rehab, challenged me while still making me feel supported, and got me back on my feet. I'm running, biking, doing everything I was before. Their attitudes are awesome and they know what they're doing.

I have been going to Evan for 3+ years. The care and service I have received from him is exceptional. I have seen him for both a hip injury and hamstring injury. Each time he conducts a thorough analysis - about a 45 min run through of various tests and questions - to do a root cause analysis. He sets up clear rehabilitation plans and he will monitor progress closely - if he's not seeing it, he's not afraid to switch it up and employ another approach. As an aside, he's also the nicest person ever. I can't speak more highly of Evan and his expertise!

I can’t recommend Evan and the team at Fortius Physical Therapy highly enough! From pin-pointing the origin of my injury, developing a treatment plan through handling all of the insurance invoicing, Fortius does it all!!! As a runner, I always seem to have some sort of ailment and Fortius is there to help me work it out. 5/5!
More than 1 year agoAA
Evan and the team at Fortius are spectacular!
The in-person sessions really helped hone in on what my specific issues were. Then the exercises they gave me for once my insurance ran out have kept me healthy ever since. My sciatic pain and spasms are practically non-existent now.
You won't find a more personable, yet expert, physical therapy team in Manhattan.

Dr. Bracconeri makes it incredibly easy to stay on track with your recovery with telehealth and in-person (masked & limited #s in the office) appointments. You also receive a MedBridge schedule that allows you to see videos of your assigned exercises as well as track what you’ve done. It incentivizes maintaining your ‘streak’ - and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll get better.
Dr. Bracconeri is extremely knowledgeable. In my 9 months visiting (or doing telehealth) 2-3x weekly for my ACL tear & post-surgery rehab from March to November 2020, he answered all of my endless questions about surgery and recovery, and helped me buy what I needed to successfully recover more than my original strength at home. He is very communicative. His office makes figuring out insurance easy.
I recently started the Ostroy Racing & Development (now Sugoi / NYC Velo) cycling team for f/t/w riders in NYC, and asked Fortius to sponsor and support our team because I trust Dr. Bracconeri will treat our cyclists right - and because he is personable and extremely supportive for whatever level of PT help you need. Highly recommend - thanks Evan!

I am writing this to give Fortius Physical Therapy my highest endorsement. I had shoulder surgery July, 2020 and had to begin PT 2 weeks later. The surgeon had given me a list of PT people and when I looked them up – they either did not take my insurance or they looked like large factories. I went in search for my own PT provider and found Fortius – where I will always return whenever I need PT and I will always recommend to anyone who needs PT services. The diagnostic process was complete and explained to me thoroughly. The facilities were clean and well maintained. (Their Covid-19 procedures are exceptional). The staff and practioner's are knowledgeable, friendly, caring and they listen to you. They dealt with all the insurance matters (a load off my mind) – and all I had to concentrate on was doing my progressive program of recovery – which was amended as I progressed. I reached 100% full recovery and have maintained that recovery since. I highly recommend Fortius Physical Therapy for anyone who wants a caring staff, personal attention and a positive experience on the road to recovery.
